​Dear Dr. Averhoff

Many thanks for this update. It has been a real privilege for me to know you and work with you on Hep C elimination in Georgia. Glad to hear  that you will be supporting COVID 19 response, and hope we will have a chance to get your advise on COVID 19 response.
I wish you all the success in your new position.

With kind regards

Tamar Gabunia

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I wanted to advise you that I have left the CDC Division of Viral Hepatitis as of 1 August 2020.  You have all done an amazing job with HCV Elimination, it has been my honor and privilege to work with you all.  The support from CDC will
continue, of course, with the Atlanta and Georgia based teams, I look forward to the final success!  I am staying and supporting the CDC COVID-19 response, which has been a huge challenge, and we again need to learn lessons from Georgia, just as we have for
HCV Elimination.

My email address remains.  Thank you again for the privilege of working with you all and the opportunity to get to know you as friends and visit your beautiful and lovely country.

Best regards, FA
